We rose early, around 4 a.m., offered morning prayers, and then left home quickly to reach the bus station on time. We wanted to catch the bus before daylight, before any fighting between the Taliban and the national army or foreign troops. Battles between the Taliban and...

I hear thunder.
What a relief to know that it is only thunder.
Not a bomb.
Fourth of July, lights in the sky
It's nothing to worry about.
How lucky I am that I can play with explosives.
And not start a war.
I hear thunder
It's too close for comfort, but I can bear it
Because I...

MNLF( Moro National Liberation Front) wants to get our city and want it ruled by them. Make it ruled by Muslim and make it a place of Muslim people. For one month we are under them. We just stay at home, afraid of taking as hostage. No works, no schools. It's like we were...

no. People have killed people religion does not kill people. They use it as a excuse and if it did not exist they would just find another. We can say science has killed people as it created the weapons in order to kill people but we don't because science did not kill the people...

I'm sorry, for your dead parents..I'm sorry because i'm sleeping while you are so scared...I'm sorry because i'm eating good enough while you are so hungry....I'm sorry because i'm swimming in my pool while you are so thirsty....I'm sorry because i'm laughing while you are...

and the bloodshed of fellow men!!? It's happened throughout history and time - greed by one side trying to plunder what is not rightly theirs and the other side defending its own. Why can't there be sustained equality in this world, where you only get the percentage back that...

to war because their basic freedoms are being taken away from them. Hospital and schools are blown up - you can't even walk down the street without hearing a missile whistle over you. While we are here sitting in our living rooms and typing on our laptop while contemplating what...

if we just stopped wasting lives and multi-trillions of dollars on war and weapons. So please just stop it, any warmongers out there. Make love not war. Give peace a chance. And be nicer to each other.

thing. I'm an Australian soldier fighting for a better place. A better day. And a better life for our children. I have a little boy. He looks up to me like a hero. I don't take myself as a hero. I love and miss Jeremy every minute.

or even watching movies about war. These men are fathers, husbands, sons, brothers, just average people, and they could all die in the blink of an eye in some horrible, inhumane, painful way. These women are mothers, wives, daughters and sisters...I was watching the movie...

for an international economy. However, the war will be always a sign of a death, suffering, destroyment. Many of historic monuments, which are very important for my state was destroyed or robbed during war. I think also war is a destroyment of a particular people values, like...

souls. Who shall stand for those men and women, and children. Wars only for Greed. Religious wars? No, War of Greed. They use God's name to hate. Why do we allow unfit Leaders to lead? Why don't we impeach them all. Starting with congress and the president. The power is in the...

FACE
OF ONE YOU USED TO KNOW?
HORRID TEARS IN SOFT FRAIL SKIN
NEATH DESERT STARS AGLOW.
I’LL TELL YOUR MOM AND DAD I WILL
OF THE MANY THINGS YOU’VE DONE.
I’LL TELL THEM HOW YOU LAUGHED AT HELL
AND HOW YOU DIDN’T RUN.
NO PAIN DID YOU FEEL I SAY
WHILE SITTING IN THEIR...

small dead son
so many soldiers to never come home ever again
Even when the war is 30 years done
I saw the broken buildings
Now just rubble stones
Planes drop the bombs from far away
They don't see the bodies on fire and broken bones, the burnt babies and trees that stop...

concede.False Gods. Death Squads. Blind.When people speak about their military pursuits, I can't help but cringe - what kind of pursuit is that? To train yourself to kill another living thing, for a cause you don't even know the details of.Of course, there is some good that can...

armies and it always occur to me (when i watch the war parts) y we need to engage in war.. Its sad bec the soldiers wer being sacrificed for selfishness of their leaders..
When the soldiers do their formation like those whom shud be in the frontlines is doomed and they know it...

When this war ends...I will go back home
A home so empty...******** of all it's warmth
With all my loved ones wiped off this earth
Home has lost it's gravity....
There's nothing I want more
Than to see them come back alive
And feel them love me...and to love them back
The...

This is my first poem, im not that good but i just felt like writing it :)
Pain. A word so small but with so much meaning.
A word always to give you fear.
And that pain may also lead to anger,
to destruction of the world.
Humans will take that,
that pain and anger,
anger will...

where I can be transformed into pulp in the middle of a battle where I am filled with the kind of fear a coward like me would inevitably feel just makes me terrified. And I would never want to inflict that kind of fear on anyone, especially civilians that inevitably get into the...

young age I've seen witnessed things that no one my age is supposed to see hell not even a grown man should see what I've seen burning buildings , deadbodies you name it I've seen it twice .

Being a patriotic American it makes me upset to say that we go to war for stupid reasons. I've been speaking with a person from a different country who's city got bombed last night by Americans. It makes me so sad to hear that because its hard to love your country when were...

Permanently discredited
And abandoned
There will be...
War!
In the east
War in the west
War!
Up north
And in the south
Prepare for war!
Until the color of a man's skin

Then the color of his eye
There will be...

I hate war, it revolts me. It disgusts me. Why do countless people have to suffer and die because of some political squabble? Its not just the act of genocide - because war essentially is genocide - that gets to me. It is the cruel wartime tactics that people employ. No wonder...

thinks they have the right to treat the people of their country as mere pawns on a global chess board. I say that if they want to use violence to solve the conflict, we should just take the world leaders that disagree with one another, and stick them in a coliseum, armed with...
